Russia seeks to sow division within Ukrainian society, creating chaos within the country and ultimately removing the president, according to the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

"Our intelligence has information, which also came from our partners," said Zelenskyy, describing the disinformation plan known as Maidan-3.

"Maidan is coup for them, so the operation is understandable," he said.
